QUAKER PASTOR SET ON FIRE - WOMAN HEALED OF BRAIN TUMOR!!!

Hamilton,

I wanted to let you know about several things that have happened since I attended your meetings in Richmond. Your ministry of prayer and laying on of hands has really opened something up in my life. Although I don't know exactly what God has set me free from, I am experiencing a great deal of freedom in my life and ministry.

You may recall that Carol Smith asked you to pray for a woman named Heather at our church in Lynn. Since you were here, she had a second surgery to remove a brain tumor. This was the week after you were in Richmond. I know Carol went over before I did to lay hands on her. I went a few days later and she experienced sensations of heat on her head.
We prayed for at least 30 minutes or so. Before we were done, her whole body was hot. I went again six days later and was impressed to pray for the loss of motion in her left side that has occurred as a result of her tumor. She again experienced heat and a strong sense of God's presence.
I also felt heat on my hands and arms during the first visit. However, during the second visit I found it difficult to stand up because of God's power at work among us. I continued to feel heat and fatigue for over an hour after I left the hospital. Also, after you prayed for me I continued to have bouts of spiritual purging for three or four days.

During that same week, I had a clear sense of God telling me to stop looking back and that I was to focus on ministry. I was not to pursue a second job in addition to my ministry. God reminded me that if his power could heal cancer, then why was I worried about money? Later that day I had a meeting with Heather's father to talk about our prayers at the hospital and what God is doing in his life. He told me that he shared the story of Heather experiening God's healing touch with his employer who is not a Christian. During their conversation, he shared part of my story with this man. He told him how I had left a relatively secure engineering career to answer a call into the ministry. At some point during their conversation, he handed Heather's father a piece of paper that he had written something on. He said he didn't need to know my name or anything about me, but asked Heather's father to take it to me the next time he saw me. When I unfolded the piece of paper it was a check for $5,000! This all happened on the day when God told me to stop looking back and focus on ministry!

Since you prayed for me I have laid hands on several people. Nearly everyone has experienced heat or vibration and remarked about how they wanted to soak it in and didn't want it to stop. God seems to clearly be leading me into a ministry of healing and deliverance and I love doing it.
It is one of the most joyful and blessed aspects of ministry I have experienced to date.

There is much more I could say, but I wanted you to know that your ministry had a direct impact on my ministry. I have a new freedom in the Spirit that I have never experienced before.

Thank you for your obedience Hamilton. I am excited to think about how God will be glorified even more through Heather's situation.

May God continue to bless you richly,
